SemanticScholar API

Access the Semantic Scholar Academic Graph (S2AG) to find and explore scientific publication data: papers, authors, citations, and venues.

The Semantic Scholar API is your direct pipeline to scholarly data, organized across three core services. Use the Academic Graph API (AG) to fetch rich paper and author data, including SPECTER2 embeddings and citation counts. Leverage the Recommendations API for machine-learning-powered paper suggestions based on a given seed list. Finally, the Datasets API provides downloadable links for the full Academic Graph datasets. Authentication is simple: most endpoints are public (rate-limited to 1,000 requests per second across unauthenticated users), but we strongly recommend an API key for a dedicated 1 RPS rate limit and better support.
